Abstract

Motion estimation process is an important module in digital video coding applications as it demands more computations when compared to other modules of digital video coding. In order to overcome this difficulty, many motion estimation algorithms were proposed. This paper presents an analysis of some famous algorithms in motion estimation process for digital video coding. In this review, the search procedures, computational complexity and quality of these algorithms are discussed.

Keywords
